Did any of these ever get made? How much? If you didn't get any made did you at least get a price?<br>

Unfortunately the simple answer is NO. This has been another item that has been on our to "to do" list if there was any interest and if time permits.<br>
<br>
Currently I have a manifold waiting to be installed on my road Sprint. It is a SU manifold fitted with twin 50mm throttle bodies and set up for 4 injector. It was the original manifold used on my race car before changing to 4 off 45mm throttle body installation.<br>
<br>
If you are really interested let me know, and I will sort out a price for a 1 off.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

Did I not see one on EBay.<br>
<br>
I think jigsaw was selling it (off a F3 Car)

Yeah, <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Triumph-Dolomite- ... <!--EZCODE LINK END-->. I didn't bid because it didn't have the bosses for the injectors. Might as well drill a standard manifold.<br>

that used to be mine. I gave it to Mark as i couldn't do much with it. <br>
<br>
The manifold is flat as well so will give bonnett clearance problems on a normal sprint road car. I wasn't an issue for the F3 installations.<br>

<br>
Can you say what throttle bodies you are using?<br>
<br>


<p></p><i></i>

The twin throttle body set up is using items from a VL model Holden Commodore (circa 198<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 8) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... lasses.gif ALT="8)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> . These items are plentiful and relatively cheap second hand. They are mounted on an aluminmum adaptor plate which is then bolted to the manifold.<br>
<br>
The Commodore motor in this particular model is actually a Nissan 3 litre straight six (RB30).<br>
<br>
Another way of attacking this job is to find a throttle body injection set up (ie from a car that has an injector mounted in the throttle body). Although this system may not be quite as good for performance it is easier to install as you don't need to make/fit injector bosses in the manifold.<br>
<br>
My road Sprint is ready for EFI, wiring completed, computer fitted, just a couple of minor things to complete on the ignition side due to the crank trigger system. From my experience with my race Sprint, I do not expect any HP increase, just improved driveability and improved MPG.<br>
